Several outlets profile Chinese food delivery drivers, using the account of Beijing worker Mu Jie to describe working conditions in app-based delivery services. The reports say drivers can work around 13-hour days and that pay per order is often low, with Mu Jie earning a little more than $1.20 per delivery in typical work described in the articles. They also describe the pressure of handling dozens of orders during long shifts, framed as a consequence of demand and delivery-platform logistics.
Across the sources, the central points focus on the relationship between time spent working and earnings from each order. The coverage indicates that despite high order counts, individual returns remain limited for many drivers. The articles collectively present delivery work as physically and time-intensive, with drivers spending extended periods on the road to complete frequent tasks arranged through delivery apps.
While details beyond the shared account may vary by outlet, all three reports focus on long working hours, low per-order remuneration, and high delivery volume as defining features of the drivers’ daily experience.
